(1) The Court may, on application by a person who might have been a petitioner, order that that person be substituted as a petitioner or as a respondent, as the case may require, and may make further orders for the conduct of the proceedings which may include orders relating to--

(a) service of the order and other documents in the proceedings,

(b) amendment, and

(c) the sum required under section 158 of the subject Act as security for costs.

(2) Where the Court orders that a party be substituted for another party or a former party, all things done in the proceedings before the making of the order shall, unless the Court otherwise orders, have effect in relation to the new party as those things had effect in relation to the old, but entry of appearance by the old party shall not dispense with entry of appearance by the new.
